With beach season around the corner, it’s time to get all your beach essentials ready! Here is a list of our top beach essentials that will help you enjoy the beach season that much more.

Hair Protection

To ensure your new summer dye job doesn’t go to waste because of the sun, spritz your hair with Biolage Color Care Therapie Shine Shake Spray ($13). The UV protectant spray, will have your lushes locks looking fresh and as good as they did the day you got them done.

Sunscreen

We all love to sit out in the sun and get our summer glow on. Unfortunately, the sun isn’t always so nice to us and our skin. To turn your love/hate relationship with the sun into solely love, protect your skin with Australian Gold sunscreen ($11). Australian Gold sunscreen comes in all types of SPF. From SPF 4 to 50 this sunscreen is perfect for those who tan easily and burn easily.

Face Wipes

After a long day at the beach your skin is often oily, sticky or covered in sand. To leave your skin feeling refreshed after a day in the sun, pack Off Your Face Wipes Cleansing Cloths ($10). The three-in-one cloths come in a set of 25 and help you get rid of makeup, dirt, oils and dead skin. They are formulated with a mix of skin-softening glycerin and poreshrink RS. These cloths are hassle free and a quick way to touch up your face after enjoying the sunshine.

Lip Balm

As much as we enjoy the heat, it can leave our lips chapped or cracked. To ensure your lips remain chap and crack free, try Sun Bum lip balm ($3.95). Sun Bum gives your lips full-spectrum sun protection. It also contains aloe vera and cocoa butter to sooth, repair and enhance your lips. Sun Bum comes in six different flavours from key lime to banana. They not only taste good, they’ll protect your lips as you bask in the sunshine.

Moisturizer

Lying in the sun for hours on end is not good for your skin. It tends to leave your skin burnt, dry, oily or patchy. With Tarte’s Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen ($36) your skin problems are in the past. “The lightweight, water-based formula blends into your skin as easily as a moisturizer while micro-treating mineral pigments diffuse the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a natural finish.
